Colors of Fall

Fall is my very favorite season of the year. Especially since I have moved somewhere there is actually a fall. I love the cool crispness of the mornings and evenings and all the beautiful changing leaves. It makes me think of football games and the fair. Where I grow up we always had the fair in the fall and I loved it. The fun rides that are also scary because who knows how safe they really are and cotton candy(my absolute favorite treat). Anyway Saturday I finally got Cameron to take us on a drive around the Alpine Loop so we could see the leaves. It was however like 40 degrees and snowing. We drove over to Cascade Springs where we took all the pictures except the one on the left which is of the back side of Timp. We walked around and I got a few pictures but the kids were uncooperative and wouldn't smile. Also the leaves over there had not really changed which is weird. I did get to see some changed leaves and the kids had fun running around on the bridges at the springs singing the Grumpy Old Troll song from Dora with Cameron. Grace however didn't like having to "drive for hours". On the way home Blake striped off his socks and shoes(what's new) and put his socks on his hands because they were cold, he is a genius. We had a fun relaxing family day and it was great!

So after reading my sister's comment I decided to add to the story of our Saturday outing. On the way home I decided that even though it was cold ice cream sounded good. BYU was in the middle of a football game and I love their hot fudge sundays so I thought it was a great time to go there. I was right no one was there so we got our ice cream and sat down to enjoy. While we were eating my wonderful husband says "You know if we lived anywhere near here you would weigh like three hundred pounds." I replied "That is sweet honey." "Well it is true. If we lived across the street you would find any excuse to drive over and have a sunday." My reply was "I would at least walk." Anyway he is kind and I love him so much!
